I'm passionate about SW engineering and over the years I've been fortunate to work as a practitioner as well as a researcher in a wide range of SW projects. I studied geographically distributed SW projects focusing on the relationship between the SW architecture and the organizational structure. I developed ways to extract technical, social, and organizational data from various sources and use those data in quantitative models to uncover ways to improve productivity and quality in SW projects.

On November 7th, I gave a talk at CMU on my recent work on Software Analytics. The details of the talk are as follows:Title: "Analytics in Software Development Projects: The Journey from Research to Practice"Talk Abstract:Over the past two decades, we have witnessed a drastic increase in the development of metrics and analytical frameworks to study technical, social, organizational and socio-technical aspects of large scale software development projects. Despite the valuable insights that these new approaches provide, their application in practice has faced significant challenges. In this talk, I discuss these challenges and several examples of how those challenges were overcome to provide tangible benefits to software project outcomes. The examples cover geographically distributed software projects from startups to large-multinationals and across several industries.Location: Gates Hillman Center 4405 @ 10:00aSlides:
